<p>What did you guys think? Anyone else take it?</p>
<p>buuuummmppp</p>
<p>How is sat2 different than the AP lit test?
I'm planning to take it in June.</p>
<p>I'm taking it in June too..I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT'S ABOUT</p>
<p>Get a practice book.</p>
<p>I took it today...it was alright. not too tricky, but some of the poetry was a little difficult</p>
<p>Do you have to prep for this, or is it pretty similar to SAT Critical Reading without the vocab and with some poetry? Or do you have to know certain techniques and stuff that you would have to study to know?</p>
<p>i thought it was pretty difficult, and 2 of the poems were hard.</p>
<p>It was more difficult than I expected...so was U.S. History.</p>
<p>the test was hard, i felt like there wasnt much time. maybe i shoudlnt have taken it, oops.. am i correct in saying that not a lot of people take lit because is difficult?</p>
<p>anyone know the answer? i feel like nobodyyy took this test</p>
<p>i think so...i think lit is a lot harder exam than things like maths or bio are going to be..it was messed up today a lot of the wording was weird and the poems were tough....</p>
<p>dyu think colleges look at SAT II scores depending on the subject theyre in? so they might credit a lit score a little harder to achieve than a math?</p>
<p>I thought it was definitely alot harder than I was expecting! Truthfully, I dont think there's any test prep that could have prepared you for that... its either you know how to analyze a poem or you don't. That can't be studied, really. Although it was hard, I was able to read quickly and then have time to go back and re-check my answers.. overall I thought I did pretty well considering the difficulty of the test.</p>
<p>thats wats wrong with these exams...no way can u prep - ur either an english whiz or not...and i feel thats unfair..but then it is our decision to take it right..so i guess we have to live with it...</p>
<p>again somethign like the new essay on the SAT - it makes it so subjective...one examiner may love my writing, the otehr might hate it..depends on who gets the paper ....dyu know what i mean?</p>
<p>I feel like if you had a decent English education, you'd be okay, if you're a good reader. For example, one question asked why a certain poem wasn't a conventional sonnet, but if you didn't know the conventional sonnet form, you could just check all the answers (like, if the poem didn't have a certain rhyme scheme, you would put that down)</p>
<p>does anyone know how much the curve is gonna benefit us for this test? also...what's usually the average score on this exam? i read somewhere that it's one of the harder subject tests.</p>
<p>if the national average is low than the colleges are easier on the lower scores right? i.e national average is 580 and you score a 540?</p>
<p>Well, colleges will frown upon low scores, and the percentages for such scores aren't really that good... so, they'll take it into consideration, but it will hurt you more than it will help you.</p>
<p>Can we dicuss questions? I'm wondering whether I should cancel or not.</p>
<p>im taking satii lit in june, but havent taken ap lit yet, just ap language. im pretty good at sat critical reading. do you think that if i look over the poetry stuff with a review book and just do some practice, taht i will be ok?</p>
<p>What did you all get for that question about Mrs. Todd's personality in the pennyroyal passage? I wasn't sure whether it was through her own reminiscings or through the narrator's comments on her decisions (or something else).</p>
<p>"'Twas but a dream with us," Mrs. Todd said. "I knew it when he was gone. I knew it"--and she whispered as if she were at confession--"I knew it afore he started to go to sea. My heart was gone out o' my keepin' before I ever saw Nathan; but he loved me well, and he made me real happy, and he died before he ever knew what he'd had to know if we'd lived long together. 'Tis very strange about love. No, Nathan never found out, but my heart was troubled when I knew him first. There's more women likes to be loved than there is of those that loves. I spent some happy hours right here. I always liked Nathan, and he never knew. But this pennyr'yal always reminded me, as I'd sit and gather it and hear him talkin'--it always would remind me of--the other one."</p>
<p>She looked away from me, and presently rose and went on by herself. There was something lonely and solitary about her great determined shape. She might have been Antigone alone on the Theban plain. It is not often given in a noisy world to come to the places of great grief and silence. An absolute, archaic grief possessed this countrywoman; she seemed like a renewal of some historic soul, with her sorrows and the remoteness of a daily life busied with rustic simplicities and the scents of primeval herbs. </p>
<p>I think it was the narrator's description of the character, but I also think I left that blank.. haha.</p>
